Luke Zettlemoyer

RESEARCH MANAGER | SEATTLE, UNITED STATES

Luke Zettlemoyer is a research manager and site lead for FAIR Seattle. He is also a Professor in the Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. His research is in empirical computational semantics, where the goal is to build models that recover representations of the meaning of natural language text. Recent work has focused on language modeling pretraining, multi-lingual NLP, semantic parsing, question answering, and information extraction. Luke's honors include a PECASE Award and being named an Allen Distinguished Investigator, along with more than ten paper awards at top NLP venues. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Edinburgh and received his Ph.D. from MIT.
